well if some stuff about sponsors is going to go into policy, how about
insisting all packages in the archive while still in sponsor stage have a
sponsor field

So dpkg --info or apt-cache show or whatever on the package will show

Maintainer: Person maintaining package
Sponsor: Debian Developer Sponsoring package

after all it is trivial to add fields here any time in debs :)
